Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital is a hybrid academic-community EM program built around one of the busiest, highest-acuity EDs in the country (125K+ annual visits, 30% admission rate, 18% ICU admission rate, Level I trauma), with an unopposed training structure and a heavy 7-month critical care curriculum spanning medical, cardiac, pediatric and surgical ICUs plus a dedicated PGY2 trauma rotation at Sinai Grace. Research is deeply embedded but pragmatic rather than lab-based: every resident completes a scholarly project, supported by a large dedicated research staff, an active clinical trials portfolio (resuscitation, EMS, ultrasound, geriatrics), and named tracks/fellowships in geriatric EM, pediatric EM, and medical education. The program's geriatric ED accreditation and the Danto Family Geriatric EM Program, alongside street medicine and community outreach work, signal a specific interest in vulnerable and elderly populations beyond generic high-volume exposure. Graduate outcomes split roughly 40% academic/fellowship and 60% community practice, and the program explicitly seeks "hardworking, down-to-earth" residents who fit a tight-knit, mentorship-driven culture rather than a narrowly research-elite one.
